Does anybody have any idea when I will be able to get the rest of the freeview HD channels in Chippenham. I've only got 2 extra so far, BBC 3 HD and CBBC HD. Really looking forward to BBC 4 HD.

In Cwmbran, South Wales. Used to have good reception across all channels. Now some breaking up and everything at 770MHz is unwatchable. Is this 4g interference? Have tried retuning often.

TT: This would seem doubtful, although you can always check with at800:
Contact at800 / DMSL | General Enquiries | at800
Looking at the coverage checkers of O2, Vodafone and Three, they provide no 4G service in Cwmbran. EE does, however it was allowed to use some of its 1,800MHz allocation (which is used for 2G) so we don't know whether it is at 800MHz which is that which can cause issues with TV reception.

Peter: Why would that be? BBC FOUR has never shown a Wimbledon match (as it's not usually transmitting), and it's not really CBeebies target audience either...?
